Has to be Halo 2, even though the Hit Detection needs a massive rework including CE, I like Halo 2 for its skill gap & I find it’s maps are very nostalgic to me
Campaign has to be the best in the series
Campaign is a tough call. It’s either Halo CE, Halo 2 or ODST. CE is the original where a lot of the story beats and characters first appeared. The flood were a genuine surprise and really shifted the tone of the campaign. 2 developed the ideas very well, is perhaps the most quotable and offered the most insight into the Covenant through the Arbiter campaign (dat cliffhanger tho 
) . ODST had the nighttime exploration, jazzy soundtrack and I really liked the character focused story.
For multiplayer, it is easily Halo 3. Other games may do certain aspects better, but I think Halo 3 is the most rounded and delivered the most complete experience. It feels like the last and most developed version of the classic multiplayer before Reach changed the game with features like armour abilities. The introduction of Forge blew my mind and made the possibilities feel endless for the types of games and maps we could play.
From the multiplayer side it’s H2A, then CEA (via Reach). But, CEA isn’t always available if I remember correctly. From the campaign side it’s CEA and maybe the final mission in Halo 3; although, ODST and Reach could be a fun revisit perhaps.
Unfortunately I don’t spend much time in the MCC because it lacks the TrueSkill-Through-Time (TTT/TS2) skill assessor, the TrueMatch matchmaker, and a control scheme option that’s comfortable for me nowadays. I’m still waiting for the developers to address these three things before I seriously revisit and invest plenty of time into these older titles again.
Besides I prefer Halo 5’s gameplay, so I’ve been content spending most of my time there. Primarily because of the rotational playlists; however, now those are supposedly going away so that leaves me in a situation where I may slowly stop playing Halo as my primary FPS title for the first time in 11 years and for the most part in 20 years. Halo: Reach was the last time I stepped away from the franchise as my primary FPS choice.
We’ll see if Infinite’s multiplayer experience can keep me interested enough to maintain it in my top spot. While I found the Tech Preview fairly enjoyable I don’t know if it’ll continue to be a title I’ll want to continue investing time into as my primary FPS title.

It depends on the mode!
Campaign - Halo: CE
Multiplayer - I play a lot of Halo 3, though I usually have Reach, Halo 2 Classic, and Halo 3 selected.
Firefight - Matchmaking I usually only do Reach, but custom games I prefer ODST.

I personally think all games are fun, but I’m especially excited when I get a flag and bomb game type in halo 3
It isn’t my favorite, but halo 4 has a special place in my heart, as it was the first time I did custom games with my idiot friends
Halo 2 or halo 3 odst.
Halo 2 due to all the out of map glitches you can do.
Halo 3 odst for the amazing game and story.
Hey dude, I’m the same way. I love Halo 4’s BTB and story.
I got to love Halo Reach for my favorite game in MCC, it was pretty big and when it came to PC and playing Custom Games with friends was amazing. Playing forge was pretty awesome too
